Avanti, InSat, Newtec finish testing Ka-band satellite Internet hub in Cyprus


A joint announcement by Avanti Communications, InSat, and Newtec reported a successful conclusion of their joint testing of the new Ka-band satellite Internet hub infrastructure built by Newtec in the island nation of Cyprus.

Newtec serves as the exclusive technology partner for all InSat services and a partner of satellite operator Avanti. In addition to installing the Cyprus Ka-band hub, Newtec will also provide two-way satellite broadband technology. Its MDM2200 broadband terminals can provide download speeds of up to 22 Mbps for InSat's ISP customers.

In fact, according to InSat, Afghan telecom and Internet service providers are already testing their managed services. Insat has installed on-site control stations and customer terminals in Afghanistan, which allows local Internet service providers to test out its Hi-Stream broadband Internet-from-satellite service.

InSat is a managed services provider (MSP) that uses the Newtec Sat3Play Broadband platform under the Hi-Stream brand name to provide IP access services for businesses and consumers. The service leverages the significant broadband capacity of Avanti's HYLAS 2 Ka-band satellite.
